The best option for you would be to start bupropion. It is an anti-depressant which also reduces craving for tobacco. Thus it will have a dual benefit for you. It will help you in cutting down smoking and also make you feel better. Please consult your doctor and discuss this option.
Alcohol and also smoking are usually stimulants of gut secretion and / or reflux. Proton pump inhibitors are very helpful for that.
